The Fees in Advance (FIA) Program enables parents, or others, who wish to contribute to a girl’s education at Ascham to make a lump sum prepayment of Tuition and Boarding fees to cover future School fees.

The program is designed to provide an attractive discount to the usual annual fee increases. Some of the benefits include:

• The FIA Program is a simple means of funding education costs.
• The discount offered is a saving, making it attractive in comparison with other interest-bearing investments and savings deposits.
• Fee increases are capped at only 2% per annum.

How the Program Works

• Parents (or other related persons or entities) may pay the entire schooling fees for a students’ life at Ascham from Prep to Year 12 in advance, at the time of the student’s commencement at the School.
• A lump sum is paid to the School to cover Tuition and Boarding fees (if applicable). A minimum of 3 years is required for each FIA arrangement i.e. annual top ups for one year are not permitted.
• The FIA balance reduces each term as Tuition and Boarding fees are due and payable, the FIA balance held by the School is reported on each statement issued to Parents.
• The program is available annually from January to 31 March i.e. all Fee in advance arrangements must be in place and funds paid to the School by 31 March.
• The increase in school fees are capped at 2% per annum i.e. the lump sum prepayment amount is determined by increasing the current gazetted fees by only 2% each year.

Yes, you can continue to pay by invoice using BPAY. We will be transferring the existing Biller Code between banking service providers, so you are ok to continue using the existing Biller Code of 7682 without any impact.

Due to the heightened cyber-security risk of interception by cyber criminals in using this method, the School’s position is that we will no longer accept a direct transfer of funds for School fee payments.

Instead, we request that you click on the link in the email accompanying your invoice, which will take you directly to the CBA BPOINT (Payment gateway) to securely complete payment.

Ascham will only ever issue a link for an online payment to a CBA ‘BPOINT’ payment gateway. The payment gateway will always include ‘bpoint.com.au’ in the website address. Additionally, the online payment forms will be Ascham School branded and will contain CBA’s ABN number and logo at the bottom of the payment page. All payments via BPOINT are EMV 3D Secure.
